Period Weirdness

Usually I get my period every 22 or 23 days as part of a 28-day cycle that includes one week of bleeding and three weeks off. The week of bleeding is not normally 7 full days; it's more like 5.

This month, strange things are happening. I got my period in the first week of December, and then about a week later I got it again. Two full periods in the span of 3 weeks - very strange. Then, this past week, I didn't bleed, but woke up this morning to find more blood. If this morning's bleeding turns into a period, that's going to be three full-blown periods in the span of about 5 weeks.

It's really strange and I don't know what to make of it. This in conjunction with the spot and the weirdness on my head (which I will not go into now) is making me think something is amiss. What's going on body? Too much sexual attraction of late? Involuntary purging? The affect of beginning to take a multi-vitamin? I'm at a loss.

I hope it all comes back into a good equilibrium again soon. Our bodies/health seem to exist in such a delicate balance. I hardly ever think about it until something goes awry or I become sick.

On a lighter note, I'm glad you're blogging regularly again. I've missed you!!!

Happy New Year!

I missed you too buddy! Good to hear from you regularly again!

I've had ups and downs like that before with my period...and honestly, I never did find the source of the problem....once i had my period for 5 weeks....and no one could tell me why...then magically one day it disappeared....and came back exactly 28 days later...weirdness!

I hope your body finds its natural rhythm again very soon.

Happy New Year...I wish nothing but good things for you BC in 2008 and beyond.

uh oh. are you pregnant?

i also got my period twice in a month. maybe it has to do with hormones and attraction. it also coincided with a new relationship with a new guy. and no, i'm not pregnant. ;P

HB, Sweetheart, that's not the kind of random comment you just throw out there into the ether... Judging by the amount of blood that has washed out of me during the past 5 weeks, I'd have to wager no.
